Railpictures.ca - Isaac Bryson Photo: CN L581 makes an extremely rare move northbound up the Halton to work 2 industries on the ‘Glass lead’ in Milton, before rocketing back to Aldershot and eventually Brantford. CN 9547 and BNSF 2098 provide the power for this train. CN 581 might be the most random train in Southern Ontario, with it regularly running light power eastbound from Brantford and going down the Grimsby, or to Aldershot, or even Oakville. But this was the first time I’ve ever heard of 581 going up the Halton to Milton (doing 551s tasks). With the noodleless zebra and the Cascade Green geeps, as well as the overgrown state of the tracks, this could easily be an obscure shortline. CN in 2023 folks. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
